Web Series Worth Eating: Tough Love begins its 3rd Season with "Meat"

Web Series of the Week: Tough Love
Created by Steven Bell, this hilarious LGBT series is about two gay best friends - Blaire (Blaire Wendel) and Steven (Bell) - looking for love in New York City. And in its two-part Season 3 premiere, vegetarian Steven goes on a blind date with Marco (Constantin Tripes), a hunky male model who takes him to an exotic meat palace. Meanwhile, Blaire stalks her ex-girlfriend who has moved on from their relationship. As for my review, it's a great episode - Bell and Wendel could not be better as their amusingly neurotic characters, while Mr. Tripes is mighty fine - both in and out of his shirt.

Self-Obsessed

Raif Derrazi, Jordan Jones and Kenny Leu star in "Hide My Porn", the latest episode of this steamy sketch comedy. For more SRS, go to www.SteamRoomStories.com. And you can follow the series on Facebook and Twitter.

Successful People
Any web series that references Solid Gold (the 1980-88 syndicated TV series) and its host Marilyn McCoo (from The 5th Dimension) is definitely worth watching in my opinion. So check out the latest episodes of this comedy about an unsuccessful songwriting duo. For more Successful People, go to www.successfulpeoplewebseries.com.
